Actually, it is simpler than you think! :D First thing, visit www.qrz.com and then www.arrl.org. Here you will find links and reference materials with which to study for the license. Your first license is the Technician which allows you to use the following bands (the most prevelent ones)
10 Meters: 28.000 thru 28.300 using MORSE CODE (you are still allowed to learn it on your own if you like! :D ) Voice modes cannot be used there.
28.300 to 28.500 UPPER Sideband. no other privileges with this license.
2 Meters: 144.000- 148.000: Mainly FM, but other modes are used according to certain agreements, such as CW, digital, SSB.
70 Cm: 440.000-449.000--basically the same modes and rules as above.
The 10 Meter band is a fun band and will give up some great DX in the upcoming cycle.
Some general advice: LISTEN before transmitting. Learn the protocols of hams. Avoid the lingo and slang of CB. Many hams will take offense to it. IOW, remember the old adage, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!" Comform to THEM, don't try to force them to conform to CB. After all, the Amateur service is the father of all radio anyway. Use the same language you would use on the telephone. Be profofessional! You will do FINE! Good LUCK! YOu won't regret the ticket! It will give you thousands of hours of company on the road and at home.

NO!!!! That's NOT funny. :evil: MY license MEANS something to me since I EARNED it with a lot more than is required now. I wouldn't do that AND there are PENALTIES for doing such a thing. It's been tried before. You CANNOT take the exams online!!!! :evil:
Sir, I don't your exact intent with this, but I don't consider such a proposal in the least amusing. The concept of handing out licenses like candy are anthema to me and an insult to every honest amateur operator that ever HONESTLY took the time, studied the material, and TOOK the tests for the privileges offered. It is called I N T E G R I T Y, sir, and it is obvious that you, with your flippant suggestions of dishonesty, possess neither the true desire NOR the qualifications to become an amateur radio operator. OR you consider Amateur Radio to be a big joke! It is such people that amateurs DON'T want and FEAR having within our ranks! It is EXACTLY why many of us didn't WANT the rules and tests relaxed so people with no scruples could drag the service down to the level of 11 Meters! :evil: Often, CB operators complain that hams "look down" on CBers, and just can't seem to understand it!!!! Well, LOOK at your OWN post suggesting dishonesty and getting someone to take the test for you. I wouldn't do that if hell froze over!!! THERE'S your answer! There's the reason we disdain those who have no desire to LEARN anything, they only want something for NOTHING! GIVEN away!That is NOT the basis and purpose of Amateur Radio which has earned the respect of both the civilian population AND the authorities with its professionalism and willingness to respond in time of need!
I tried to help you by answering your questions as best I could. I find your reply to be DISGUSTING! Expect NO further help from me!

If I have gone off to quick or misunderstood, I am sorry, but this is really something that torques me! Surely, ALL serious radio amateurs who possess the desire to conduct themselves according to the rules, and are willing to put forth a small amount of effort are welcome. But the suggestions of impropriety are more than I can take. If I misunderstood, I am sorry. There is just too much flippance and lack of seriousness that can set me off! I don't consider the idea of cheating on an exam to be funny!

Go RIGHT ahead. Like I said, You can't regulate STOOPID! You think you are special. YOU won't get caught! But you will!
You want "respect" for your so-called "profession", Yet you think nothing of violating the law "just to piss somebody off". Then at the same time, if someone walks into your house. violates YOU in some way, wrecks YOUR vehicle, you are right THERE screaming for the law to come protect YOUR rights! Yet you feel perfectly fine with "Ah'm gonna git me one uv them thar 10 meter reddios thar and tawk on them hammie channels jist because I (think I) kin thar." " "Hit's awrite fer me to be a criminal cuz ah'm jist so spay-shul and ah got's them thar spay-shul rah'ts". Radio bandits who steal privileges EARNED by honest people are common THIEVES no less than the bandit that robs banks! So, THERE'S your answer!!! It is why those truckers who do these things diminish the trucking profession, and are held in contempt by both the public and decent truckers and justly earn the name "CHICKEN BANDER." |

No you won't Jackrabbit. Your chances of getting caught are less than getting hit by lightning. :roll:

LOL! OK, now THAT'S funny! LOL! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The more I read these posts, the more I'm convinced that if you wear a pocket protector, you should be just fine. :roll:
You still don't get it, do you Ray? :roll: You come on here, preaching from your radio pulpit on a trucker's forum, condemning the world and you really expect people to listen to you? They listen, all right. They listen, laugh at you, and then are that much more likely to go out and do exactly what you preach against, just to whiz off sanctimonious people like you. You have accomplished nothing except to cast your "hobby" in a negative light. Over the last few years, I've fielded several PM's from licensed hams on this board stating just that and that you and your crackpot lunatic fringe does NOT speak for the rest of the ham community. But hey...as long as you've got a thick skin, then have at it. There's an inherent entertainment quality to your posts and who am I to deprive a bunch of DECENT truckers of their fun. |

Preach it brother Flyer!!!
The threads do resemble the CB Ninja fights at any given truck stop!!!

I'm not so sure about getting hit by lightning after the few close calls I've had in the recent past.
The FCC Radio Police are few and far between but it would be fun to watch a full scale "Gangbusters Raid" at a truck stop!!!
Chinese Fire Drill????? |

I guess, I shouldnt of said it. I was just being goofy. :lol:
Sorry, Ray. Didnt mean for you to take it so seriously. Didnt mean to start a rucuss. :lol:
Well, I know some guys who drive for another LTL company that have radios that can get out for miles! I dont know what the chances are of getting pulled over for their big radio, but I do know that this is Tornado Alley, and we get lots of thunderstorms every spring. Even in the dead of winter, when the weather changes from warm, to cold. In other words, I see lots of lightning around here. :P :lol: |
